doing a special series about staying safe. let's look at issues of water and sewer. we are here at the san francisco urban center on mission street in san francisco and i'm joined today by marrielen from puc and

talk about water and sewer issues. what are things we should be concerned about water. >> you want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. we recommend that you have at least 3-5 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. >> the storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. >> right. of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. it's free. it comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. so find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. i use it to

water my garden. >> of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is a common way to store it. >> yes. it's an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. just make sure you check the label. this one says june 2013. so convenient you have an end date on it. >> and there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. >> sure. if you have a water heater or access to the water heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. in any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. there is two ways that

you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic household bleach. the recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. you add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. the other option is to boil water. you need to boil water for 5-10 minutes. after an earthquake that may not be an option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. the other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water.org. >> people should not drink

water from pools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as

human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. >> thank you so much, >> miss fever. >> mr. haney. >> miss mendoza? >> wins? >> norton. >> lee. >> wo ng. >> here. >> thank you. >> thank you, miss castco.

>> okay, my name is greg martani and i have been before the board in other capacities with the japanese citizen's league. in this case i am filling in for karen who is the daughter of fred coramatzo who received the gold medal of freedom for

his stand against the incarceration of japanese americans in world war ii. while this issue is something that can be discussed? a history class, i hope that this is something that can be looked at in a broader scope in terms of an individual who stood up for what he believed and for his stand against what recognized as being a wrong and instead of being bullied by the government he carried the case all the way to the supreme court. fortunately, war time prevailed and similar circumstances currently, his case was not viewed in the broader spectrum of whether it was constitutional just that he violated the curfew and therefore he was constricted and it was until many years later that the government had put forward and held back the documents that should have been presented to the defense. and so, the situation was that

his case was vacated and eventually other cases such as glen and (inaudible) and two general but we should never forget that there was musenda who was also one of the individuals who is cases went before the courts. i hope that it is not just something in a historical context but now, i would like to turn it over to karen coramatzo. >> thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you for coming. >> thank you, okay. >> okay great. >> thank you, >> okay.

all right. okay. good evening, i am sorry that i am late. i'm karin and i am the co-founder and executive director of the (inaudible) institute for civil rights and education here in san francisco and our mission is to advance civil and human rights through education. and this is quite an honor to be here this evening. and you know just briefly, my father was born in oakland, california. and fred coramatzo thought of himself as an american citizen and that what motivated him to take a stand against the military orders that were issued during world war ii that forced removed 120,000 of japanese ancestry from the west coast.

he worked on redress after his conviction was over turned in 1983 after it was found in the government's own files that the incarceration was of not military necessity and that there was government misconduct. and he worked on the redress and ref rations movement that led to the civil rights act of 1988 and then my father's mission became education. he crisscrossed this nation so that the lessons of history would not be forgotten. and in 2010, with the signing of the legislative bill, establishing fred of the civil liberties and the constitution on january 30th, my father's birthday, we through the institute developed the curriculum for elementary and

middle and high school students. that include information and lesson plans in teachers, and a one-day powerpoint lesson plan, posters, videos and supportive materials that bring relevance to these issues today. the teaching kit is available for teachers kindergarten through 12th grade who can order on-line by going to the institute.org website. and we send these kids out for free to teachers in san francisco, in california, across the u.s., and anywhere in the world. the curriculum provides an important piece about california in the u.s. history as well as civil and human rights, education. the stories encourage and the japanese americans during world war 2, needs to be learned by the next generation and education is the key. if my father were here he would

say and don't be afraid to speak up. thank you. >> thank you commissioners. all right, we have another, relevant it is not... it is a recognition and a appreciation from vice president fewer, would you like to introduce this next item mes? >> yes. >> we have a guest, our fire chief miss joanna haze white is in the audience >> and she is generating the walks, i mean the fire...; is that correct?? >> chief, yes, so perhaps if you would like to come to the podium and tell us a little bit about it, thank you very much and this is a donation to every single one of her elementary schools. >> good evening, president norton and members of the school board it is an honor to be here. i know many of you you wanted

the protective equipment on. >> it gives me pleasure when we go out to be greeted in the manner that i am from the principals and the staff and the faculty and all of the schools that we go to and we are so very welcome at the schools. we love to partner with you further when it comes to training which is neighborhood training certainly cpr training and i know that you have a lot of high school level and at some point we would love to work on further partnering on the different initiatives what i am here for today is regarding the elementary schools whenever i go out to read along day there is a lot of books in the lie braen that i can select but i bring this one and it is called franky and the phoenix and i bring this and the giving tree which is one of my favorites. i am a huge fan of books and all that you do in the unified school district. so this book is very educational and the illustrations are phenomenal and the couple in the marina
